  • How can I create system recovery disc for a new laptop with windows 7 Home Premium?

    I just bought my daughter a new Toshiba Satellite with Windows 7 Home Premium laptop last night. The laptop came with a Windows restore disk. How to create a set of boot from the DVD then when the system fails, or I need a new facility? I created a system repair disc and two-disc Image recovery. Is this enough to fully restore Windows 7 to the initial state of machines? (Technology at best buy assured me that it was nothing that I was able to do and that they would do for me for $70.00.)

    In short: my Dell came with a system recovery disk which was very convenient. I would like to reproduce this convenience with Windows 7. Any help appreciated.

    Jim

    You will need to follow the manufacturers directions to create the recovery media. Looks like you've done that, but Toshiba could only say with certainty. I recommend that you contact their customer service.

  • T430s will not restart, can someone please explain how to use the 4 recovery discs?

    So I bought a Lenovo T430s, with Windows 8.1 almost 2 years (off warranty now). It comes frozen, has started to beep, then turns off, and now it won't restart. When I turn it on, it always goes to the black and blue screen that offers a Boot Menu and a Menu of Application. The Start Menu has 2 options: ATAPI CDO: MAST * beep * ADVD - RAM UJ8C2 and PCI LAN: IBA GE Slot 00C v1536 8.

    When I bought the laptop, it came with 4 disks. Two of them say "Windows 8 Recovery for Windows 8 Media products", and the other two say "operating system recovery disc, Windows 8 Pro (OEM Activation required 3.0)". "

    I don't know what that most of this way. Can someone explain how I can fix or restart my laptop? I wonder if I am supposed to use a bootdisk of some, although it is at a certain menu option... I really appreciate any help

    The first item in the Startup tab is 'Boot', Yes?

    Press enter and start > splash screen should display with something like a list of the Boot priority order .

    What do you see that listed there?

    Kind regards.

  • Create a system recovery disc?

    Hello

    My girlfriend just got a Probook new 6460 b (what she ordered to hp.com) with Win7 Pro and she wants to create a system for her recovery disk.  We have been able to make a 'system' repair disc, we found it under start > Maintenance, but I am sure that this is not a complete system recovery disk.  I found the following link: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01895783 . But his computer does not appear to have installed the HP Recovery Manager.  She also received no recovery discs.

    How can we get the recovery disc for this computer?

    Thank you!

    None of the professional laptop computers come with a recovery CD set more

    Anyway, if you live in the United States or the Canada, here's how to get a set of restore for your PC disks:

    1. Enter the reference number and the serial no on the underside of the computer on the tag.

    2. call HP at 1-800-952-7689, option 1 (ranking in the list in the option made restore disks).

    3. provide the information asked by the representative who answers the phone.

    4. do you have a Master Card or Visa ready for purchase. They do not take discover. I believe that you will be charged $10.00.

    You will receive the discs by first class mail, or you can pay an additional $10.00 for shipping FedEx.

    Alternatively, you should be able to Access Manager (dvds aren't needed) recovery with a F11 key at startup

    To do this, just restart it, to the hp bios screen, press f11 and select recovery

  • System Disk Image recovery and system recovery discs discs

    These terms are very confusing.

    I had 3 HP computers to office over the past 15 years and have always comes to an ERD but my luck could escape and I'm going to need one of them.

    However, I'm confused.  I thought that as HP comes with a drive D: original Image, it would be enough.

    I make records of recovery or system disk Image?  Are they the same?  My HP Advisor on this computer again I do "system recovery discs!

    I would really like someone explain (in novice language) which mean the above and what I need to do?

    I appreciate so much people in the help forums, as I learned more from them than books I have.

    Twinkie3

    Hello Twinkie3, I suggest making the game to restore HP Recovery disks.  Even if you have the recovery restore D: hard disk partition, it may be damaged or if the hard drive fails and needs to be replaced, you would not be able to access the recovery partition.

    If you have to replace the hard drive, you can only insert disc 1 of the the recovery set and put the system back as it was when shipped. Without these records, you would need to try to acquire at HP for a cost to you, and after a while, they are not available.

    The set of recovery disks cannot be done once and only be used to restore your particular system.

    Normally, it takes 3 DVD discs but can take longer depending on the size of the restore partition.

    The HP advisor don't constantly remind important you to these disk since it's a step in maintaining your system over time.

    Can u please help me.
    If I had the factory installed default windows vista, then how to create the recovery disk and can also create usb recovery drive, while I was able to boot my system with usb?

    And also if I m even have another model of machine, then I can use the recovery disk in the other machine with the same model and OS. ???
    as for now, I have two same machines toshiba Satellite L300-190 model.

    Waiting for your response.

    I think that this has been discussed much time here in the forum.

    You can create the recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc creator!
    This tool must be preinstalled on your laptop if the laptop was equipped with HARD drive recovery option.

    You can also try to restore the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive option.
    You must press the F8 key during switching on laptop and I then have to choose the option called fix my computer. Then new window should open, and you could choose the Toshiba recovery.

    If you cannot use the two procedures (disk recovery HARD and Toshibas recovery disk) then you can order the new CD from here:

    I have an office of 180 t Pavilion with Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit, which does not allow me to upgrade to Sp1.  I ran several times of sfc/scannow, and every time I said I have corrupted files which can not be repaired.  Is there a way I can repair my installation of Windows 7 since the recovery discs?

    You cannot repair your installation with the recovery discs.  You can create a Windows 7 repair disc on another computer which has Windows 7.  This tutorial shows you how to create such a floppy.  Read first before you do anything.

  • Satellite L300-1AQ - how much of the necessary recovery discs?

    Dear all

    I would like to know how many drives recovery requires my laptop L300-1AQ (model number PSLB8E).

    I have a disc I made when I bought the computer but I can't start using up to this I make sure that only the disk is necessary (if more than one disk is needed and I begin the process of recovery, I believe that I have will make the computer unusable). I know that recent Toshibas are delivered with several DVDs so it certainly worth my checking before doing anything.

    Oh and the recovery partition is gone due to an 'aggressive' installation of linux, so this isn't an option for us (it's the new user is a windows user).

    I cannot find this information on the internet or in the manual, so I would be grateful if anyone out there has this information.

    Best wishes to all

    Hi DiodePrridge51b,

    Possibly 1 drive only Toshiba recovery disc creator, you need only 1 recovery disk to restore to factory settings.

    It s, always according to the model laptop and OS how many records you need, but if only 1 disc was required there s enough and begin the installation of recovery. :)
